A Path to Seek
“We all sleep and wake, eat and work, dream and hope – live in the same human condition. And we all fail, at some time or another, to look beyond the surface of our lives and seek a deeper purpose.” Alex is an unfulfilled architect from Australia going through the motions of mundane life. Travelling abroad becomes a potential way to appease his discontent and even reveal the purpose in life. But will his travels help him discover the path he seeks? This is a story of wanderlust and soul searching. It is an existential travelogue, an inner and outer journey, in which Alex faces both the world outside his safe home country and also himself.
God and Sheikh Adi are Perfect
Until the late 20th century the West was unaware of the existence of an extensive corpus of Yezidi religious texts. These were traditionally transmitted orally, and were kept secret from outsiders. It was not until the 1970s that a few Yezidi intellectuals began to commit these texts to writing. These first publications included only specimens of the most prestigious genres, which for a time were thought to be representative of Yezidi religious literature as a whole. It was later discovered, however, that this literature was far richer. Furthermore it became clear that an understanding of Yezidi oral culture as a whole was indispensable for a proper understanding of the religious texts.The p...
Revenant 6: Episode 1 - Origination
Brace yourself for an intense sci-fi horror serial loaded with spiritual warfare and occult conspiracy! An American soldier on leave, a biochemist versed in the occult sciences, and a plucky high school student all have something in common—they survived the Korean Peninsula Anomaly. Together they recount their harrowing experiences with bloodthirsty “again-walkers” and the diabolical corporation who engineered them. With each episode, a special agent’s recording of eyewitness testimony brings the reader closer to answering these questions—Why is this happening on the Korean Peninsula?

The Amarisian Prophecies: The Reckoning
Teens Nadia, Afsana, Yibinathi, and Min-Ji are strangers. They live in different countries, their own demons to conquer, their own dangers to face. But when they are pulled into a Thura Gate -a bridge between our world and the magical realm of Amaris-they come together to discover a universe larger than anything they ever dreamed...and peril greater than anything they ever feared.

The only way to save him, and to break Sathariel's ho...
The Dolphin and the Octopus: A Fable
What happens when the peaceful Advisor’s Reef receives a frightening new visitor? Escape from your daily routine and travel underwater to a colossal coral reef where the creatures of the world's single superocean look to wise advisors, Makani the dolphin and Annora the octopus. Listen in as the advisors offer guidance about relationship dynamics, changing careers, preconceptions about others, and more. The lessons represented in this unusual story are age-old, yet still timely for every culture. Complete The Fable Triad with The Elephant and the Dragon and The Mermaid and the River Otter. Though each of the fables are separate tales with separate characters, they embody the same global time frame and can be read in any order. They begin almost identically, much like Kipling's Just So Stories, in order to set the tone and rhythm as complementary to the other two. But—worry not! Each fable offers its own unique account without following the same pattern throughout.
Igniting the Internet
Igniting the Internet is one of the first books to examine in depth the development and consequences of Internet-born politics in the twenty-first century. It takes up the new wave of South Korean youth activism that originated online in 2002, when the country’s dynamic cyberspace transformed a vehicular accident involving two U.S. servicemen into a national furor that compelled many Koreans to reexamine the fifty-year relationship between the two countries. Responding to the accident, which ended in the deaths of two high school students, technologically savvy youth went online to organize demonstrations that grew into nightly rallies across the nation. Internet-born, youth-driven mass...
Between Foreign and Family
Winner of the 2019 ASA Book Award - Asia/Asian-American Section Between Foreign and Family explores the impact of inconsistent rules of ethnic inclusion and exclusion on the economic and social lives of Korean Americans and Korean Chinese living in Seoul. These actors are part of a growing number of return migrants, members of an ethnic diaspora who migrate “back” to the ancestral homeland from which their families emigrated. Drawing on ethnographic observations and interview data, Helene K. Lee highlights the “logics of transnationalism” that shape the relationships between these return migrants and their employers, co-workers, friends, family, and the South Korean state. While Koreanness marks these return migrants as outsiders who never truly feel at home in the United States and China, it simultaneously traps them into a liminal space in which they are neither fully family, nor fully foreign in South Korea. Return migration reveals how ethnic identity construction is not an indisputable and universal fact defined by blood and ancestry, but a contested and uneven process informed by the interplay of ethnicity, nationality, citizenship, gender, and history.
Never Take a Knife to a Gunfight
In the 1800s, thousands of Native Americans were forced westward from their homes by the growth and ever-expanding nation. Forced into smaller and smaller areas of land, being faced with brutality and a new world where money and legality ruled, their land was lost to buyers and government officials on the other side of the country. One tribe of the Apache took their lives in their own hands and boarded a trip to India, led by Chief Little Feather and his new wife, Min-ji. Now finding themselves in an entirely new land, the Apache and Chief Little Feather must find new land to call their own. With the aid of locals and the Royal Crown of England, Little Feather earns respect and land through he and his warriors’ unmatched skills in eliminating enemies of the Crown—and finds a new, peaceful home for his people.
South Koreans and the Politics of Immigration in Contemporary Australia
The book explores the politics of immigration in Australia through an in-depth study of the ‘new generation’ of young Korean migrants in Melbourne. States with high rates of immigration such as Australia can largely determine who enter their societies, but some migrants, such as younger Koreans, can determine how and where they live due to desirable attributes such as their skills, education, and adaptability. The book uses Albert Hirschman’s ‘exit, voice, and loyalty’ schema to explore the choices available to such new and would-be citizens, especially when faced with economic, social, and/or political decline in their host society. Through in-depth interviews, the book explores i...
